Hey, I'm Ewen

I'm a Cloud Platform and Security Engineer from Sydney, Australia.

I Like to Build Things

As an engineer, I build platforms and experiences that are easy to maintain and use, with automation to ensure quality and stability at enterprise scale. I have extensive experience with a range of tools including AWS, Akamai, Adobe Experience Manager, IBM WebSphere, Jenkins CI, and many more.

Infrastructure

From basic infrastructure-as-code projects using Ansible, Terraform, and CloudFormation, to complete environments with AEM and WebSphere.

Pipelines

Building, Testing, and Deploying Code can be fast and manageable. Let me show you and your team how to take the challenge out of delivery!
